It was outstanding. He knew exactly where the water from. He clean it up and repaired with epoxy. He waited a couple of days to make sure its not leaking and sealed. Price was fair but importantly work was excellent. He was knowledgeable and shown up on time. I would recommend them again.

Barry and his team fixed crack in my foundation on two different occasions. He gives lifetime warranty and he lives up to it, when the first fix up leaked. He came out and redid the whole thing without any arguments! Subsequently my roof leaked and Barry came out and replaced in one day between rainy days. As far as price all my neighbors say I paid too much. Punctuality, sorry Barry, was late and one day didn’t come and I took a day off for that purpose.

"We served you above and beyond by returning to redo a previously fixed crack that failed due to the inferior weak foundation wall caused by the notorious builder! We were still successful at permanently fixing the entire structure permanently. We gave you three layers of high tech epoxy roofing whereby the value of what we furnished and performed far exceeds the price. We came the following one day later to start a two day job due to a family emergency. You were thrilled with the workmanship like success of the job, workmanlike manner and professional courtesy. So where on earth, with all do respect, do we deserve lower B scores?? Regardless, we Thankyou for the opportunity to serve! Until this unfair B rating review it was a true pleasure to take care of your issues. Thankyou."

The job was completed within the time expected. Barry's extensive experience as a General Contractor was very helpful in carrying out the renovation as it was originally envisioned. The crew, who were on the job daily, were prompt, dependable, and experienced in their trades. Any problem was promptly responded to by the General Contractor in a satisfactory way. The one area that could be improved upon is for better communication in choosing some of the smaller details such as light fixtures, doorknobs, tile, etc, prior to purchase and installation.

Terrible company. Do not use. Also filed a prior complaint with Angie's List. Now found that his worker broke a a valve on my humidifier that is hooked up to furnace (which was never re-connected during work repair) because he broke it. Also - left the hose attachment to sewer line that drains the water disconnected. Had my furnace maintenance done today and found that the valve is broken as aforesaid, hose disconnected all this time and I would have to pay a for a new valve. Again, do not use this company.

Went excellent, Contractor completed work as promised. After work was complete I had a leak under the sink, contractor came back the day I called him and he had already gotten paid in full prior to the leak. Not many contractors that I have dealt with in the past had been that efficent. Highly recommend

Previous owner had used Barry, and left us his receipt. When we discovered a leak I called Barry and he was over the same day, gave us a price and had it done. The worker was clean, neat and a nice guy.

We had a crack in our home's foundation, which was causing a leak <br /> into our basement. The owner came to give as estimate, and was extremely <br /> knowledgeable. He took one look at the wall in the basement and knew exactly <br /> where the crack was behind the sheetrock. (On day of repair, when sheetrock was removed, it was proven he had been spot on.) <br /> On the day the work was to begin, the workers showed up exactly on time, which <br /> was appreciated. They explained to us what they would be doing, and kept us <br /> posted throughout the morning. <br /> When the job was completed, they did an excellent job of cleaning up. <br /> I had a follow up question a few days after, and the owner was extremely <br /> responsive and prompt in his response. <br /> A month or so after the repair, and our basement is still water free. We have had several heavy rain storms since, so I am confident the problem is totally fixed. <br /> I highly recommended B Altman for waterproofing. <br /> <br /> <br />

Barry was very abrupt from the beginning. He is extremely egocentric and thrives on thinking he is the best. He was hired by my association to fix a foundation leak. Our first impression was that he was extremely knowledgeable. However, Barry sent two men to do the job. They were not him. He never showed up. His men did not fix what he claims he instructed them to fix. As a result during the next rain we got more water. When called Barry didn't understand why it wasn't fixed. He claimed it was even his idea to go into the closet with the epoxy. When he was informed that his men didn't go "into the closet" he then came up with an excuse that another previous leak fix was the reason and that he had to charge more to fix that. He claims we should have noticed that. Funny thing is he is the foundation expert. He should have been more careful in his observations. He then proceeded to be swayed by my managing company to lie about the conditions of my house. He stated our carpet was full of cat hair. We don't have a carpet. He claimed that there were piles of wet towels. Why yes! They were cleaning up the water from the leaking foundation. My last complaint was the lying! He lied to the association on his estimate. He said he had to fix the apoxy job previously done last year because it was leaking. He said if they ask you confirm that. He knew from me telling him that I do not converse with my managing agency- so how could I??? Don't use this lying foundation "specialist!" <br />
Response from B. Altmans Remodeling
"I absolutely do not recall any such situation involving a managing company responsible for supervisory or oversight on behalf of this complainer homeowner?? Why would any contractor be foolish enough to not completely satisfy and comply with a management company as the governing body? This complainer is quite obviously at odds and in grievance with their property manager and unfairly including us into their personal, (unrelated to our services), battle! If any customer ever has remaining leaks or any issues after any of work is performed we always immediately return to resolve any unforeseen additional work needed that may not have been brought to our attention or may not have been properly conveyed by the homeowner who can understandably be unaware or unknowledgeable as a lay person. Our less invasive procedure of engineered liquid epoxy injection is always less expensive than the common destructive trenches, pumps and excavation as performed by others. We have successfully served our community for over 25 years. I and my men have provided and supported our families with our business and HARD WORK. For anyone to actually waste & spend vicious time to bring harm, unfair criticism, and fraudulently defame the character of a well known consumer advocate provider to the community, is a shameful act that can only bring unblessed karma to the offender. Future customers that make decisions based upon rare isolated rants spewed from a state of either ignorance or miscommunication due to one's limited ability to comprehend is truly doing themselves a huge disservice!! Thank you for taking the time to read my explanation!"

THE WORKERS WERE OK. THEY CLEANED AND FRESHENED THE VENTS. FOR THE PRICE WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS STEEP. AS FAR AS DEALING WITH THE COMPANY, IT WAS FINE.
